Same goes for Engine out landings...
While airborne, yes. Once you land and apply asymmetric reverse, the situation changes. X-wind from the left, if you are using the left engine (of a twin) then that engine in reverse thrust will yaw you further to the left.

Years ago when doing base training on various twin Boeings, for the engine-out exercises, if x-wind was significant, in my company we would "fail" the downwind engine to do the V1 cut, then change to having the upwind engine fully available prior to the single-engine landing. This minimised the total yawing moments on both take-off and landing. As I recall, the exercise, for licensing purposes, required the use of reverse on the 1-e landing, so this was the safe way to go about it.
